Dear "Program Leadership and Improvement" List Subscribers:

I am pleased to announce that Esmerelda Doreste, Program Director with the 
Union City (NJ) Adult Learning Center, will be a guest on the list from 
Monday, May 8 through Friday, May 12.  As a participant in the UPS 
Foundation-funded "Leadership for Community Literacy" Initiative that was 
administered by the Equipped for the Future (EFF) Center in the late 
winter, Ms. Doreste worked with her program to implement a program 
improvement process based on the EFF program quality model.

Along with the four other participants, Ms. Doreste wrote about that 
experience...her story is now accessible on the "Program Leadership and 
Improvement" web site.  Go to [http://pli.cls.utk.edu] and click the 
"Stories of Program Improvement" button, then click/open "Union City Adult 
Learning Center: A Program Improvement Process."

Please read the story in preparation for Ms. Doreste's visit next 
week.  She will be ready to answer your questions about the nuts and bolts 
of implementing the process, as well as any other related issues.

Looking forward to next week,
Kim
